Apontamentos sobre a Educação do Campo em Colorado do Oeste/Rondônia: notas de um camponês letrado

Abstract. This paper will address concerns about the dichotomy between Education in the countryside and Rural Education. Based on the theoretical reference reading, we decided to confront what we know of the Brazilian educational system, with the reality we experienced and, in addition, to confront the official discourse of plural education with the desire and need of social movements for a more dignified education. The social movement chosen for our analysis was the Small Farmers' Movement (MPA), as it is a movement of wide reach and support in our region. For this we elect a person who is part of the movement to carry out a semi-structured interview. The interviewee is graduated in a course directly involved with Education which also gives him theoretical background to discuss this topic. According to the data collected the people of the MPA believe in a better educational system, and this improvement goes through the dialogue between the State and Social Movements. In the case of the MPA, this dialogue has as its central idea the valorization of the peasant culture within the school environment and, the guarantee of the maintenance of the rural schools can thus help to reduce the rural exodus and consequently to improve the quality of life.Abstract.

Este trabajo abordará las inquietudes sobre la dicotomía existente entre Educación en el Campo y Educación del Campo. A partir de la lectura de referencial teórico, decidimos confrontar lo que conocemos del sistema educativo brasileño, con la realidad por nosotros vivida y, además, confrontar el discurso oficial de educación plural con el deseo y la necesidad de movimientos sociales por una educación más digna. El movimiento social elegido para nuestro análisis fue el Movimiento de los Pequeños Agricultores (MPA), por ser un movimiento de amplio alcance y respaldo en nuestra región. Para ello elegimos a una persona integrante del movimiento para la realización de una entrevista semiestructurada. El entrevistado es graduado en un curso directamente involucrado con la Educación lo que también le da basamento teórico para discurrir sobre tal temática. De acuerdo con los datos recogidos las personas del MPA creen en un sistema educativo mejor y, esa mejora pasa por el diálogo entre Estado y Movimientos Sociales. En el caso del MPA, ese diálogo tiene como idea central la valorización de la cultura campesina dentro del ambiente escolar y, la garantía del mantenimiento de las escuelas del campo, así, puede ayudar a disminuir el éxodo rural y, consecuentemente, mejorar la calidad de vida.Abstract.
